Diehl lost con­scious­ness and suffered mul­tiple in­jur­ies to her head, arms and legs. She was pro­nounced dead about an hour later at Aria Health-Tor­res­dale.

The driver, who has not been iden­ti­fied, was a 63-year-old wo­man who re­mained at the scene un­til po­lice ar­rived, ac­cord­ing to a broad­cast re­port.

She claimed that she blew her horn and swerved to avoid Diehl, but the ped­es­tri­an did not re­spond and con­tin­ued walk­ing in­to the vehicle’s path. The driver has not been charged crim­in­ally. The crash re­mains un­der in­vest­ig­a­tion. ••
